“Alistair is very smart, insightful and an exceptional listener. You know immediately that he really cares and is genuinely invested in your success. He asks the right questions. The questions which make you see things differently - from a more positive and constructive perspective - and which allow you to identify new options. Our work together provided a constructive outlet and ‘release valve’ for the considerable pressures of private practice, and helped me to make better and more strategic professional decisions. I would enthusiastically recommend his services.”
